President Yoon Seok-yeol put forward strengthening communication with the people as his main cause as he ended the Blue House era and relocated his presidential office to Yongsan.

At the same time, he placed the press room on the first floor of the Yongsan Presidential Office, where opportunities to contact the president were limited because it was outside the existing Blue House.

[President Yoon Seok-yeol/Press Conference on the 100th Day of Inauguration (August 17th): Unlike the past, it was in a separate building as Chunchugwan, but measures were taken to allow your press room to enter the first floor here where I and our staff work together. It

was confirmed as a result of SBS coverage that the President's Office is discussing a plan to relocate the Yongsan press room, which was a symbol of communication.

A high-ranking official of the passport said, "The president and the press room are too close, and the question and answer on the way to work that communicates with the people has left only scratches."

Another passport official also said that he knew that the Defense Convention Center building was being searched for as an alternative location, assuming that the press room would be relocated.

The Defense Convention Center is a place where various events such as weddings are held, and it is a 6-7 minute walk from the Presidential Office building.

In response to SBS' additional confirmation coverage, a high-ranking official in the presidential office explained, "It is true that there is such an opinion," but "nothing has been decided yet because the Public Relations Chief's Office opposes it."

The President's office temporarily suspended Q&A on the way to work from the 21st, taking issue with the MBC reporter's protesting questions and the verbal exchange between the secretary and Goseong.

The final conclusion is noteworthy in that the relocation of the press room to an external building is difficult to avoid criticism that the meaning of the Yongsan era has virtually disappeared.
